HUSH FOR CATNIP AND BOOKRAILS
> Shrunt: 18. "I don't know"You were up so very late into the day now, face buried into your hands as waves upon waves of fear slam into your chest and thinkpan. You haven't gone hive alone in a long while, mostly getting Hatira or Serade to walk with you and stay until the moons came back out, and even then you'd follow them around. Tomorrow you have to be hive alone, they're busy, they have places to be and you can't be there. You feel yourself being rolled over, oh right, you're supposed to be sleeping over with addie. You probably woke him up with your wheezing and shaking and....crying? You didn't even notice that part. He gently asks whats wrong, nudging your hands out of the way for you to look at him. You can't really find any way to actually tell him, so you choke out a little "I don't know..."
> Ceztei: 15."Storms scare me."The wind was howling, your hive was shaking, and you were under a table. The earthquakes don't scare you, they never have. It's the thunder, it's the bright flashes and it's the rain that gets you. Books are flying everywhere and the only thing you can do is hide. Giygas has been trying to pry you from the table leg for ages, reassuring you that it'll be over soon and that you'd be much safer coming out from under there. He's talking about the earthquake, so you don't come out, shaking your head at him denying your fear of the earthquake itself "Storms s-s-scare mee" You press back and hide more, getting him to have to rethink how he's going to lure you back out again.
